ROME (Reuters) - Italian opera star Luciano Pavarotti, hailed by many as the greatest tenor of his generation, died in the early hours of Thursday, his manager Terri Robson said.

"Luciano Pavarotti died one hour ago," Robson said in a telephone text message to Reuters. He was 71.

How sad. But really now, a TEXT MESSAGE?

OMG, I know! I'm absolutely distraught over his death. I loved Pavarotti. I'm a massive Pavarotti fan. He was being really positive and determined about recovering as well. He told people he was getting better.

Of all people to get pancreatic cancer it HAD to be him, didn't it? Typical! TYPICAL!

Life is just so unfair.

 

[Maxim Posthumus]

I was never Pavarotti's obsessive fan.

But, yeah, he was an awesome man and His music was always enjoyable. There's never going to be a man like him in Italy, or elsewhere in the world. He was only one.

Rest in Peace, Luciano Pavarotti.

I'm not an opera fan in any way, but that voice... Oh It's extraordinary. It's saddening that it has left us... R.I.P. Luciano Pavarotti.

Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume...
L'amore giunger
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare

Translation of the above
It's said that a river
Finds the way to the sea
And like the river
You shall come to me
Beyond the borders
And the thirsty lands
You say that as a river
Like a river...
Love shall come
Love...
And I'm not able to pray anymore
And I cannot hope in love anymore
And I cannot wait for love anymore
